Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tigers will have spent 11 years and about to be 12. Failing.

There is no premiership window for us. Band-Aid fixes year after year.

Goodluck to all the supporters, including myself. The stigma going around, the negativity is going to take 5 -7 years to get rid of now. Unless consistency occurs and the ceo and board get themselves out of the limelight, all we can expect is more of the same.

Why are we on this page? Hope?

There is none.

🤙🏻 Tigers

Galvin? Or Large?

Suspect Galvin will end up in backrow as he grows into himself.

Realistically the only players Manly would offer us in a swap deal for Talau would be Harper, Tuipolotu and Cooper Johns.

Of those three the best option for us is surely Johns. He has looked pretty solid in all of his first grade appearances in the last couple of seasons. Plays with a smile on his face and comes from good stock. He has way more upside than Brandon Wakeham, and with Douhei out and Daine Laurie on the nose would probably get the chance to prove himself in the halves for us.

Given how dreadful Kaeo Weeks was last week maybe Manly would be unwilling to let Johns go. Wouldn’t be in their best interests, especially given Schuster’s fitness concerns.

Harper and Tuipolotu are woeful. Bringing them in would be very hard to take.

Lol, all of the players you mentioned are better than our players.

This story about Tommy Talau ? Is it real ? I remember season 2021 he was one of very few that even resembled a proper center ,good step ,cut back inside ,even seemed to combine well with Nofo but that was 2021 !
Hes only had 1.5 games since and was not enough to even form an opinion .
Tired of hearing about departures and no arrivals

Can't blame Tommy T for this move really. The club will not play finals for at least the next three years and he is a good player when fit and time waits for no man.

Is he a good player? Ive waited for his breakout game, and it just hasnt happened. Kepaoa and Tupou have passed him by.

I imagine he will have his breakout game in Manly colours. Generally the way it works with blokes that leave WT.

Like Kelma.

*if the Talau rumors are true*

Poor look on the Tigers for not swapping him when we could have.
Poor look on Talau for walking out on the club which held onto and resigned him off a season ended injury.

He isn’t a good player.
Merely surviving on over inflated reputation and as injury prone as anyone who has ever laced up.

dropped ball , momentum killers, and bad reads in defence letting tries in. Our gain is Manlys loss.

Probably just his management trying to force tigers to resign him

They will never let him go. Plus he is too young for grade

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if its a Talau/ Schuster swap...

not a chance.

Problem is Schuster is like the Grinch...his heart is two sizes too small

If Manly really are after Tommy you would assume that it may be because Koula is going to Rugby. Manly have Koula, Parker, Harper, Tuipolotu and Garrick can all play centre. Didn’t Manly promise to move Garrick to centre as part of his deal to re-sign?

Either way I wouldn’t let Tommy go. He is still the second best centre at the club after Naden.

Welcome to the WTF,

solid first post

Thumb up for the Drink (Shhh... I dont like Beer either)

 

[Spartan117]

Lets be honest, Who would put their hands up to go to the Tigers right now and we haven't really played many of the top 8 teams yet.

Wins give a club credibility, The Dolphins have been together for 1 off season and know how to play a type of game that can win.

 

[Buttface]

Have you seen the Dolphins forwards. All work hard together and their offloads are great. Always choose the right time and get second phase play. Sigh when will our forwards do something different?

The forwards are going ok and willl go better once we have halves that can capitalise on the forwards platform, therefore keeping the momentum instead of not scoring and losing the momentum and putting more pressure on the forwards to get the momentum back.

Onitoni Large.

He’s that good hey?
And when you say nit far off are we talking next year or a few years?
